Telemier

Telemier is a primary planet in the Illus System. It is the home of many characters from Night Hawk. Telemier is earth-like in it's atmosphere, but features a 26 hour day with a 360 day year. This year is divided into Nahms, 20 day period "months". Telemier is split into many areas, one of the smallest, but most prominent in Night Hawk being Earthenia.

No one knows the original date when colonization began on Telamier. The now extinct Telamierians and the Candonians
were the only sentient beings living on the planet, though some
speculate the Brociterates, a species not seen on the planet for well
over a hundred years, are also natives to the planet. Oxyrans, living as
planetary neighbors on Ayzat, were the first to explore and settle the
rich lands of Telamier. Soon other species began exploring the planet,
that quickly became known as one rich with natural resources, plenty of
open land for colonization and an idilic place along planetary trade
routes. Teshians, Manogonites, Vairdec, Airisuns and Celehi
soon joined the growing number of civilizations seen on the world.
Unfortunately, with the growth of the colonies, skirmishes over
boundaries turned into wars. The Vairdec rose up as an aggressive force,
pushing their borders further and further into other species’ lands and
destroying anyone who stood in their way. The Celehi would not back
down to the aggression and formed alliances with the Teshians to begin a
campaign against the Vairdec’s unsanctioned expansion, which led to the
infamous Vairdec War. Though in control of the stronger military, the
Vairdec ultimately lost due to the Celehi’s foresight to form alliances
with the oppressed colonies. Together with the Teshians, Oxyrans, Humans, Candonians, Brociterates and Manogonites, the Celehi managed to
overcome the Vairdec, who were then banned from the entire super system
in which Telamier and the planets of the allied species reside.

When the first Humans arrived on Telamier in the summer of 231, they
were alone and confused to what was happening. They had been drawn to a
powerful gate by mysterious instructions, only to suddenly appear on the
shores of what would later be known as Livasy Bay. Jonathan Alsen first
made contact with the Candonians through an individual he named
Poseidon who explained that the Telamierians brought Humans through the
gates as a last effort to procure a species willing to form an alliance
with them in the Vairdec War, which they were sadly caught in the middle
of. Unfortunately, before the Humans arrived, the Vairdec discovered
and destroyed the last of the Telamerian race. Without the Telamierians,
any knowledge of the gates was lost, leaving the Humans stranded in
this strange, new world. Through perseverance, ingenuity and strength of
will, the Human colony survived the war and began to thrive in their
new home. Allowed regional status, Humans now co-own (with the
Candonians) the region of Earthenia, whose capital city of San Terres
stands in the valley the Humans first occupied so many years ago.

As the leading species against the Vairdec during the war, the Celehi
are considered the dominant species of Telamier. They hold claims to the
most regions and are involved in the planet’s politics and law
enforcement. Celharan, the official language of the Celehi, is also the
most widely used language. Teshians, Humans, Candonians and Oxyrans own
regions on the planet, while Faxons, Manogonites and Airisuns work
within the established regions or within colonies that have yet to
receive regional status. Each region is governed by its own species,
though is subject to the Planetary Board and the Coalition of Law
Enforcement – a universal law enforcement agency run cooperatively by
all resident species with the exception of Candonians. The Vairdec,
having lost the war, no longer hold any claims to Telamier.
